I wrote this poem called โThe Calvinistโ to capture a glimpse of Godโs sovereign intersection with the life of a sinful man. There is no part of life where the greatness of God does not penetrate deeply. I want to help you feel that.
John PiperStrong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.
John PiperThe suffering of sickness and the suffering of persecution have this in common: they are both intended by Satan for the destruction of our faith, and governed by God for the purifying of our faith... Christ sovereignly accomplishes His loving, purifying purpose, by overruling Satan's destructive attempts. Satan is always aiming to destroy our faith; but Christ magnifies His power in weakness.
